Any momentum to be had is interrupted by a story from the 1800’s that is just flat out boring. I skimmed past every chapter of that story, and honestly the present day Swagger bits had more sarcasm and bitter politics than I expected from this writer. Maybe he’s gotten grumpier with age. He distorts the rational need for gun safety and use-of-force oversight and ends up sounding like a fanatical far-right nut job. Sigh. Loved his other books but this one’s a preachy mess.

The Best Bob Lee Swagger! From the first to last page I stayed glued to the read. I did not want it to end. Loved the historical background of Swagger. Nice touch. Kept my attention.

Thrills, suspense, irony, but as always, catch-your-breath entertainment.

Very well written and a very good read. Bravo.

I wasn’t crazy about this book. Lots of filler and a fairly weak storyline. A little disappointed as I love the Swagger series.

Like quite a few other reviewers, I could not force myself to get to the end of the book. I tried. I really did. To be fair I thought the story was decent. The style of writing was so annoying that I gave up. His cutesy writing interfered with me getting “lost” in the story. For example (not a book quote) His head was shaped like a football , beat up basketball, soccer ball, medevil helmet, blob of play dough. The repetition was madding.

Caricature at its finest! While the author certainly makes his biases known, I found the writing to be sparkling, fun and certain characterizations to be deeply insightful.

Silly little book about an American hero. Waded through about half and gave up. Have read a number of Swaggart books, but this one stinks. Save your money.

It becomes so predictable that it just gets annoying. One of very few books I could not finish.

Fun.
